So very thankful Owen slept all night. He told me once again he wasn’t going to sleep all night but his body thankfully said yes you will. He probably would have slept later if I hadn’t made noise. I of course was up by five but tried to stay in bed later. My bladder had other ideas. He was in a good mood as soon as he woke up so that was happiness for me as well.
He truly amazes me with his memory. He brought his tablet open to Google Earth and showed me Hardee’s. We haven’t been there for more years than I can remember. He has always been fascinated by the star though. He told me “Chicken nuggets French fries honey mustard cheeseburger tea no chocolate milk.” I always tell him we have chocolate milk at home if we are going home and some places don’t have it. I asked him if he wanted to go there today. He said, “Go to harbees” as he was calling it “Burger boy home church tomorrow.” He went on to tell me what he was going to do on Monday.
As the morning wore on he decided he wanted to go to Hardee’s tomorrow after church. He was very calm except he kept mentioning the videos I didn’t want to watch but otherwise, he was behaving. Breakfast turned into lunch and we played lots of games throughout the day. The theme of him saying things I don’t like and pulling up videos however continued.
He kept saying the things that he knows I don’t want to talk about and would start laughing every time he would mention them because he knows it upsets me. He thinks it’s funny. I told him it is not nice to keep doing something he knows others do not like. He laughed more. I told him that I couldn’t understand why he wanted to continue to laugh at me when he knew it hurt my feelings. I’m truly trying to get him to connect to this. After most of the afternoon, he finally came to me acting like he wanted to talk to me about other things so I talked to him but didn’t show any emotions. It’s so hard for him to even get it but the laughing at me is hard. I know he can’t process all the emotions but he reacts with this like he does when he answers questions wrong on purpose. His brain says to do it wrong and he laughs about it. This is one of those things that I want him to connect to emotionally so maybe he will learn that we purposely are not supposed to hurt someone’s feelings or repeatedly do something they do not like.
He was very excited that we were going to Hardee’s tomorrow and made sure I knew what he wanted to order. He told me that he likes Hardee’s and I said we will find out tomorrow. I hope he likes it. I’m thrilled he is excited about going though. Nighttime was a little rocky but he is truly missing his school routine. One week down ten to go. I pray he sleeps again tonight. He told me he “laughs like a boy” so I know he was working through all his emotions and trying to figure it out. It’s my prayer too. I want those connections to make it easier and I always pray for the right words to guide him through our days. Never give up on the hope for tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
